India:Two wheelers/ car sales heavily hit

In view of growing inflation,which peaked to 12.75% ,the Reserve bank of India took some hard measures to curb liquidity of money supply.It increased CRR and repo rates. The banks have to park more money with the RBI.
Most banks have left the two wheeler industry in view of high interest rates as the lenders find it hard to collect EMIs from the customers.Earlier the private banks like ICICI had more dealers to loan arrangement for two wheeler segment.Now it has reduced its presence in the segment.
The automobile dealers demand 50% to 60% initial deposit to approve loans.
Customers are left with no choice but to wait until interest rates cool down.
But, the industry is hit and the sales are down already.

Kashmir Issue : Poor response from the Indian gov.

The Kashmir is always a difficult issue for the Indian gov. Whenever a problem arises , the Indian gov is struggling to take a decision on which side it should support. Taking a neutral position will not help resolve the problem. There is always Pakistan behind Kashmir, the seperatists, pro azadis,pro Indians, Hindus, Muslims,Buddhists all are to be satisfied when tacking the issue.
The current crisis started when the ruling gov first allotted land for the Amarnath yatris safe passage to amarnath cave temple, then refused the allotment on pressure from the alliance partner PDP of Mufti mohammed syed.
The people of Jammu and Ladakh are tired of Pro-Indipendent kashmir agitations and cross border terrorism. The people expect a peaceful solution.The gov of India fatally failed to find a solution the burning issue. It is neither talking to the local people Hurriats nor Pakistan with solid proposals. The gov wants free trade between both sides,wants people to move freely between borders but afraid of talking about the status of Kashmir.
The pro azadi group must understand there is other side of Kashmir which in Pakistan occupation and its status is not known either.
Former PM Atal bihari Vajpayee initiated dialogue but the talks were not continued until an acceptable solution is discused.
Since Pakistan is living in danger ,the Indian side should first engage in dialogues with all local Kashmiri people to find an amicable solution.
People wants peace in the valley.

India/Tamil movie Kuselan ended as Nightmare.

The superstar of south India ,Rajini Kanth's 'Kuselan' failed to attract crowd as against the hope that it will do better than his earlier movie 'Chandramuki'.
Even though the movie has a stong story ,original from Malayalam movie, the film makers did a wrong move by projecting Rajini in the front.Rajini himself clarified before the release his part is only 25% which the producers should have told to the distributors and theatre owners. They just wanted to make huge money by betting on Rajini.
His hardcore fans will not be satisfied by these kind of movies.They just want him rocking throughout the movie.
The film makers must understand ,the story went good in malayalam because the hero Mammooty's role was well within the need and the story was the selling product.Here they wanted to sell Rajini's charishma, which went against hope.
A common man may still like the movie but one can not expect the typical success of Rajini film.

Pakistan:Musharaf becomes an unwanted man

General Pervez Musharaf toppled the democratic gov led by Nawaz Sherif in 1999 and acquired power ,later becomes the president of the country. He suspended the constitution twice ,expelled the former prime minister ,dismissed the supreme court judges. Western countries initially talked against undemocratic Musharaf ,later used him to serve their own self goals.They thought Musharaf would be able to control the militant groups operating in and around Pak. But, how a pro militant army chief could control terror outfits. The US and other countries terrifically mis interpreted the nature the militant groups who were once supported by US itself to act against India, Afghanistan ,Russia and other anti US countrie's now becomes US and its allied countries direct enemies.

In India , former BJP gov did the mistake of inviting the general for peace talks knowing very well that he was solely responsible for the Kargil war.Only then ,other countries acknowledged him as a democratic person.
But he has proved a power hungry person time and again.He did not quit his army chief posts as claimed by him,did not conduct elections within the time frame set by him. Even after the present governments proposal to impeach the president , he shamelessly says he will not quit.
Mr.President ,You have become an unwanted person in pakistan.Understand that you have to take the same medicine you gave to Nawaz Sheriff.The western countries may bat for you but you can't be the ever lasting president of Pakistan.Better prepare yourself of your own treatments.

Composer Ilayaraja appearing on silver screen?

Some press article reported Ilayaraja is making an appearance in a song in the film 'Dhanam' in which he scores music. Not sure of it.His son Yuvan has already done it in a film some years ago and the father is following suite now.
It will be interesting to see the music messiah on the screen also.

What Rajnikanth learnt from hokenal protests?

Before the release of his film 'Kuselan', Rajni clarified to his kannadika fans that he learnt a lesson from the issue and he would not commit the mistake again, after some kannada organisatons protested against him.
Now, Tamilnadu counterparts Bharathiraja,Director Seeman,DK veeramani and some others have issued statements against Rajni for their part, all for publicity stunt we all know.
What are the lessons Rajni must have learnt:
1.He should not speak aggressively in public meetings like a politician.
2.He came to know he has some envious enemies in tamil industry like Sathyaraj who openly criticised his religious sentiments and his fans.
3.Film industry protests are made to settle some persons political wishes and Rajni should not participate actively.
4.Without knowing the consequences , he should not make any statements.
5.Biggest lesson is learnt from Karunanidhi. within hours of film industry protests for continuation of the Hokenakel project,the CM announced the project is stopped till the karnataka elections just to help the congress of any embarassment and to retain the alliance, without any respect given to the various protests in the state.
The lesson is You can bow down to anyone for your own cause.

Music: Harris Jeyaraj sounds better than A.R.Rehman

After the tamil hit of Minnale ,Harris Jeyajaj has established his own kind of music in the southern states of India. It looks simple,yet powerful soul music. Every film he worked ,he has given lot of melodies. One might say, he lacks variations, but he has understood the need of the film industry very well and giving music accordingly. He has followed the quality of A.R.Rehman but melody is different from the other. The lyrics is followable ,one can murmur it easily.Each of his venture is a musical success,but some numbers have repetitive patterns. He is yet to prove a success in Bollywood.

Talking of Rehman ,he has deviated a lot from his early day musics. He is trying to follow the world music. His mix is good but many times it becomes very difficult to follow from common man's perspective.

Tamil Movie :Rajni's Kuselan a review

The much awaited Rajini's Kuselan hits the screens on 31 st July.Along with Rajini also stars Nayanthara,Pashupathi,Meena, Vadivel and many known faces.Music by G.V.Prakash,the nephew of AR.Rehman.Pyramid saimeera releases the film.Produced by K.Balachandar's Kavithalaya and Seven arts.The film will be another feather in Rajni's crown after many years of commercial films.Though the film is remade on malayalam hit katha parayum pol,the director P.Vasu has given more importance to Rajni unlike the orginal.

Pashupathi who is running a poor life with his wife Meena and three children in a village is a barber.Rajni who is now a super star in movies comes to the village for shooting.Interestingly,both Pashupathy and Rajni are friends in early days.When the whole village is visiting the super star ,pashupathy is afraid of meeting him due to his poverty.But,in a school function Rajini recalls him and reminds how pashupathy helped him to reach chennai by giving money selling his ear ring.The scene would bring tears every viewers.How the friend are united is the rest of the film.Vadivelu as usual proves he is now the comedy king.GV.Prakash's BGM and songs has come good.Over all it will be satisfying film for Rajnikanth as he is forced to act in commercials these days.Pashupathy has done his job wonderfully.

Hats off to the entire Kuselan team.
